Birds In The Wilderness

Words & Music:

Traditional Camp

 

Here we sit like birds in the wilderness,

Birds in the wilderness, birds in the wilderness.

Here we sit like birds in the wilderness,

Waiting for our food.

 

Food, wait-a, wait-a, wait-a,

Food, wait-a, wait-a,

Food, wait-a, wait-a, wait-a,

Food, wait-a, wait-a.

 

Here we sit like birds in the wilderness,

Waiting for our food.
